Re-make of Magazine Cover


I have decided to change the presentation of my magazine cover because I felt that feedback wasn't looking very positive and not many people liked my idea of having the magazine in a landscape, scrap book kind of structure so I deciced to change it to an original, standard portrait layout. This meant also adding and changing text and images. In the end, I preferred this version of my magazine cover anyway and am pleased I chose to do this.

Prometheus: Marketing

This website shows how marketing gimmicks can make the audience predict the entire storyline and therefore, ruining the film's chance of success. As it is the first science fiction movie to return after more than three decades, Ridley Scott has gone over the top with marketing. Earlier this year, Twentieth Century Fox began screening short teaser promos for the film's debut trailer, and there have also been extensive viral videos and screenshots too.

From this new real media information (posted 30/04/12), I am aware that I shouldn't market my trailer too much as I may give away too much footage and the audience may start predicting the storyline. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to provide screenshots of the movie as people can start bringing them altogether and predicting the storyline. If I were to release screenshots, it would only be a couple from maybe the less important scenes but enough to draw the audience in.
